Re: XAUI IO specs




Mike,

On your P.S., I was referencing slide 13 from the proposal authored by Mr. Ali
Ghiasi and Mr. Richard Dugan presented at the November '99 HSSG meeting in
Kauai, HI:
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/10G_study/public/nov99/ghiasi_1_1199.pdf
The legends on the Y-axis come from the table on slide 5. Note the reference to
0V, or ground on slide 13. 

Best Regards,
Rich
